Inauguration Antics

Written by PETA | January 20, 2009

Today is an exciting and historic day for our country! Everyone and his brother has flocked to the nation’s capital to catch a glimpse of our new president and first family becoming … well, exactly that. Now, at PETA, we believe that in order to be a strong nation, we need a limitless amount of compassion, great endurance, and excellent health—and the best way to get all that is to go vegetarian. Want to see all the exciting things we’re doing for the inauguration today? We’ve got some fantastic pictures to show you:

Our “Be Fur-Free” bunny, raccoon, and fox were all over the city to remind people about the cruelty of the fur industry. Unfortunately, when big crowds get together in cold weather, there are always a few fur hags being eyesores. Check out these pics of our friends getting out the message:

This whole idea has even sparked a global interest. PETA Asia-Pacific got in on the action, too, when its “Yes We Can” cow showed up at the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong.

Ah I have full heartedly begun sharing EVERYTHING Ive learned about the injustice with animals with all my friends and family even complete strangers! My husband and I and our 3 daughters have become Vegetarian…. and are LOVING every min of it. I never knew how yummy vegetarian dishes can be

Yes!!!!!! becoming vegetarian is the way to go. I became a vegetarian in June 2008 and it is one of the best decisions of my life. I’m working on becoming vegan. Let’s keep promoting vegetarianism. Let’s do our part to save our planet.

this is cool nice photos i am spreading the word of peta through school and it seems it’s working…. you do the same… God bless peta and the people that help the animals and that condemns the people that hurt the animals…. I love animals and i want to risk even my life to save them thank you

very nice idea…. Poor animals… I am spreading the word of peta to all the school teachers kids ecc. People are like eating less meat but more veggy.. If The school finds out that the meat is throuwn away then they will say do not get it again because it’s just a waste of food noh? So they have more veggy… Cool Forza PETA GO VEG!!!! i am carnivorous but i will go veg Everybody let’s support ans expand the word of peta… thank you and god blesses those who are always trying to help more the animals and that condems the people that hurt animals c ya soon

I got my vegetarian starter kit on the 19th jan and pledged to never eat meat or dairy products or use any animal derived product from that datei emptied my cupboards and fridge and freezer of all animal products and went shopping for my future..God Bless P.E.T.A the Inauguration day shenanigans looked like a success and a whole lot of fun can the world change…….Yes we can!!!!!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Franklin was wearing a fur coat I saw a behind the scenes thing on some show ET or access Hollywood or one of those thingsand she was there with some man and the guy was holding her coat and it was definitely the dead animal kind Also I noticed Barack and just about everyone else was wearing leather gloves so I don’t really think they should get too much credit for now wearing fur. Peace.

Michelle Obama Jill Biden Laura Bush Michelle’s mother all the other high profile women were not wearing fur! However Dick Cheney’s wife Lynn looked like her coat had fur trim so that wasn’t so good but all in all that was just wonderful. In fact looking through that gigantic crowd I hardly saw anyone wearing fur! And like someone already said I was very glad to see furhag Aretha Franklin in a cloth coat. Her hat was hideous though! Hopefully fur really is dead or nearly dead!

How cute they areand apparently they are completely non threating to small children and commuters! PSafter watching the ceremonies on tv all day I was glad to see Aretha did not drape herself in dead animals…

Help tiger cubs forced to swim + used as selfie props. Tell Dade City’s Wild Things that cubs belong with their mothers!

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
